Army Museum (Bao Tang Quan Doi)

Army Museum (3 September 2006)


Bao Tang Quan Doi, also called the Army Museum or Vietnam Military History Museum, is a museum in Hanoi. It chronicles Vietnam's numerous battles to stay independent. The museum showcases the struggle of the Vietnamese people for unification against French and American forces.

Bao Tang Quan Doi is located on Duong dien Bien Phu Street on the west side of Hanoi. On the opposite side of the street from it is the Lenin Statue while next to it is the remains of the Hanoi Citadel with the Cot Co flag tower.

Getting there

Using the Ho Hoan Kiem as your starting point, walk west along Hang Khay, which changes name to Trang Thi after a while. When you reach a split in the road take Dien Bien Phu Street, crossing the railway track. Continue walking until you see the Army Museum on your right, and the triangular park with the Statue of Lenin on your left. Bao Tang Quan Doi is just behind the Army Museum.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
